Chapter 17



Jing Ye has been keen on watching the fun since he was a child. If he could bring his mobile phone with him, he would be able to record the scene of "a hundred birds flying in fright" on the spot.

"The ecology here is good, and there are so many bird species."

Ming Fu was not in as good a mood as Jing Ye, and she had no intention of watching birds. As soon as she looked in the direction, she realized something was wrong.

"Brother, that's the direction of our home."

Jing Ye stroked his neck and moved his hand, pondering for a moment. He couldn't connect the commotion with his house, and then said, "It seems so."

"Let's go back and see what happened?" Ming Fu stared at the direction of the cabin without blinking.

Ming Fu left as soon as he said he would, but Jing Ye was still thinking about the coconut he had finally gotten.

"Don't worry, let me bring the coconut first."

Jingye didn't drop any of the fallen coconuts, and picked up all six in his hands.

When they returned to the cabin, they were greeted by the fact that it had been reduced to ruins.

The other guests also ran over after hearing the noise, and were looking at Ming Fu and Jing Ye with complicated expressions.

One second ago, Jing Ye was in a good mood discussing with Ming Fu what to eat in the evening. The next second, his beloved cabin became a ruin in front of him.

Jing Ye was suddenly filled with grief, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, his hands suddenly lost their strength, and the coconut in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"I was out for just a few minutes, who demolished my house?"

Shan Yanli didn't dare to stand up and speak, and quietly hid behind Pei Haotian. She had seen Jing Ye's bad temper before. He was notoriously ungentlemanly and had no sympathy for women. He treated men and women the same way.

Before she officially debuted, she once met linkwe backstage at a party.

At that time, she didn't have her own lounge, so she went to use the lounge with her teammates who were also participating in the draft. The first person she ran into was linkwe.

Xu Weixing heard what they came for. Although he did not agree to let them in, he still gave them face and kindly suggested that they find someone to help solve the problem. However, Jing Ye next to them did not give them any face at all and mocked them for just wanting to take advantage of the popularity.

Although Shan Yanli also admitted that she just wanted to take advantage of linkwe's popularity, take a photo and post on Weibo, who wouldn't envy the popularity that comes with debut?

Xu Weixing saw it but didn't say it directly. He even gave them some ideas. Why did Jing Ye say it out loud and embarrass them?

Shan Yanli couldn't understand why it was Jing Ye instead of Xu Weixing who came to linkwe?

Pei Haotian also realized that Shan Yanli wanted to be a coward and asked him to help her.

He didn't want to bring this up at first, but who could blame him for being so happy about what Shan Yanli did? He was so happy that he was worried that he would wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

"Listen to me, they were all accidents." Pei Haotian stood up. He tried his best to control himself from laughing, but his relaxed tone sounded like he was gloating.

Jing Ye crossed his arms, with an expression that said, "As expected," and smiled sarcastically, "I was wondering who else it could be. It turns out it's you, Zhongyiren."

Pei Haotian's mind wasn't as quick as Jing Ye's, so he was stunned for a moment: "What Zhong Yiren?"

Jing Ye refused to explain to him, but just held his hands and admired Pei Haotian's stupid and confused look.

Ming Fu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he kindly reminded him, "Zhongyiren, my brother said you are immoral."

Pei Haotian then realized that Jing Ye was scolding him.

Jing Ye was more confident than anyone else. He pointed at Pei Haotian's nose and cursed, "You demolished my house while I was away. If you don't behave like this, who else can be immoral?"

"Who told you that I was the one who demolished the house?" Pei Haotian didn't laugh at the joke for a few minutes, but was instead angered by Jing Ye.

Jing Ye: "If it wasn't you who demolished it, who else could it be? My house is in good condition, how could it collapse on its own?"

Pei Haotian was delighted: "What a coincidence, you are right, your house collapsed by itself."

Seeing that they had been talking about nothing for a long time and were only busy with talking, Shao Yi took the initiative to explain the cause and effect of the matter.

"Miss Shan just came looking for wood to build a house with, and she set her eyes on a dead tree struck by lightning. This is it." Shao Yi pointed at the dead branch that was pressing down on the ruins of their wooden house. "The dead tree accidentally fell on your house, and then your house became like this."

Jing Ye refused to believe that a dead tree could destroy his house. Was his house made of paper?

Shan Yanli muttered softly, "I didn't use much force, I just pulled the wood."

Jing Ye: "Do you think my house is Lego that will fall down if you touch it?"

Pei Haotian spread his hands indifferently: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the production team for a video replay to see if what we said is true."

Speaking of the program crew, they must have seen their cabin collapsed a long time ago, but the house has been collapsed for so long and no one from the program crew has been seen.

It seems that no matter what the reason for the collapse of the cabin, the program crew has no intention of intervening.

In today's situation, the truth is no longer important. What is important is how to solve the problem at hand.

Jing Ye: "Then tell me, how are we going to solve the problem of our house?"

Shan Yanli first looked at Pei Haotian, but Pei Haotian didn't move and didn't look like he wanted to help her with any advice.

He glanced at Tong Wenping and his wife again. Tong Wenping was still watching the fun. A seasoned veteran like him would never express his opinions casually. And his wife Jiang Meng always listened to him. Since Tong Wenping was silent, Jiang Meng naturally kept her mouth shut as well.

Shao Yi seemed to be thinking about the problem seriously and did not speak immediately.

Bai Yinyin is even less reliable. Besides, even if Bai Yinyin wants to help herself, Shan Yanli doesn't care.

Shan Yanli saw that she had no one to rely on, and she felt sorry for herself for a while before she spoke reluctantly. However, she was not apologizing, but trying to find various excuses to excuse herself.

"I didn't do it on purpose. It was all an accident. I didn't want it to happen. I even got hurt."

Jing Yecai didn’t care whether Shan Yanli was injured or not. He only cared about his house.

Jing Ye sneered and asked, "So you're saying that my sister and I are destined to be in trouble?"

Shan Yanli's attempt at playing the victim failed again, so she gave up and said, "You're not the only ones who are unlucky. I'm unlucky too. I'm injured myself. So what do you want me to do? The house has already collapsed. What's the point of asking me for an explanation? I can't afford to buy you a new house."

He simply started to act like a rogue.

Jing Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The funny thing was that Shan Yanli's rogue behavior was really effective. He really couldn't do anything to Shan Yanli.

"Shan Yanli is right. No one wants an accident to happen. Although this incident was caused by her, the responsibility cannot be entirely blamed on her." Tong Wenping suddenly spoke up to smooth things over.

There has never been true empathy in the world. Tong Wenping was not the owner of the cabin, so he could not feel sad about the collapse of the cabin sincerely. When he saw the cabin collapse for the first time, he actually felt gloating in his heart.

Why should they, the siblings, be special and get to live in a cabin? Everyone's status is the same, that's fair.

So when he was speaking, he was completely speaking from the perspective of an outsider, and it was easy for him to speak.

"For example, the house collapsed easily. Doesn't that mean the quality of the production team's construction was not high? This should be the production team's responsibility. They shouldn't have let Shan Yanli carry it alone, and she even got injured because of it."

Shan Yanli immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, that's right. I am also a victim. You can't just blame me."

Pei Haotian: "Teacher Tong is right. If you want to cause trouble, you should find trouble with the production team. It's their house's quality engineering that doesn't meet the standards. Don't blame others."

At this time, Assistant Director Xiao Zhao, who was on another small island, felt uncontrollably guilty. He looked at Director Guo next to him, who seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai with composure, not worried at all that the guests and the audience would blame the program crew.

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao clicked his tongue silently. He was still too green and hadn't mastered the skills yet. He still had a long way to go before he could become a master. He would be satisfied if he could have half the mentality of Director Guo one day.

Director Guo's heart was far from being as calm as he appeared. He cursed in his heart, saying that these guests were really good at shifting the blame.

I’m so annoyed. I got scolded by the leaders in the office again during the meeting.

Following Tong Wenping's guidance, the audience quickly assigned the responsibility to the program team and spoke up for Shan Yanli.

[I really can’t blame Shan Jie for being so unworldly. Whose house can be destroyed by a piece of wood?]

[I also support Shan Jie in this matter. Shan Jie cannot bear all the blame for the program team.]

[Think about how Ye was still proud of his cabin just an hour ago, and now, an hour later, the cabin has become a pile of scrap wood. Such a dramatic scene that even novels dare not write like this.]

[Maybe even God couldn't stand his arrogance, so he used Sister Dan's hand to smash him, hahahahahahaha]

My friends, I am dying of laughter. What kind of a loser is Jing Ye? He finally got a cabin thanks to his sister, but in the end, he didn't enjoy it at all and didn't even get to stay there for a night.

[Wow, Jingye and his sister are so pitiful. Do they have to sleep outdoors tonight?]

[Why is Sister Jing Ye so silent? She's not worried at all about not being able to stay overnight?]

[The little girl has never seen the world before, she must be scared silly]

[Why is she making any noise? She can't help at all, she's just causing trouble.]

Jing Ye disagreed with what they said. What did they mean that Shan Yanli should not be blamed? Has she apologized for her behavior so far?

He was about to say something else, but Ming Fu stopped him: "Forget it, it's boring."

"Why is it boring?" Jing Ye was unwilling to let it go. He was a serious person who could clearly distinguish right from wrong.

It doesn't matter whether you can take responsibility or not, but your attitude is very important. No matter whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, since the cause lies with you, you should show some remorse.

What's the point of shirking responsibility and avoiding your own mistakes?

never mind?

What do you mean by forget it?

Even if the king of heaven comes today, there is no way to get away with it. He is making it clear that Shan Yanli must apologize to them sincerely.

Ming Fu: "I mean, there's no point in arguing about this now. It's getting dark, and our home is still just a pile of rotten wood."

Jing Ye was stunned, obviously he was stumped by the question.

Ming Fu: "Brother, I understand your feelings, but things must be prioritized."

Jing Ye, who was feeling hot for a moment, felt like someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, cooling him from head to toe, and his mind became much clearer.

A Fu's words were very realistic. The houses of other people had been basically repaired, but theirs was still in ruins.

The most important thing is that their food is buried under the ruins. It is unknown whether they can find it and whether they can still eat it after finding it.

He was faced with one difficult problem after another. What conditions and time did he have to argue with others?

Jing Ye muttered to himself, "Alright, it's true that if we close our eyes and hear the crows cry, and open our eyes and see the unlucky stars, we should just consider ourselves unlucky."

No matter how unpleasant the words were, Shan Yanli didn't dare to say anything. She thought of herself as a jinx and walked away in shame with her tail between her legs.

It was not suitable for Pei Haotian to stay for long. If Jing Ye realized it and asked him to help clean up the mess, it would be difficult for him to refuse. So when he saw Shan Yanli putting on the grease, he followed Shan Yanli and left.

Shan Yanli got into big trouble and returned empty-handed, and she felt a little ashamed in front of Pei Haotian.

"Teacher Pei, the piece of wood I just saw is quite suitable, but I forgot to take it when I left."

Pei Hao sneered and said, "You dare to take away the "murder weapon" in front of Jing Ye? Do you think he will let you take it away?"

However, Pei Haotian had just admired Jing Ye's misfortune and was in a good mood. He did not bother with Shan Yanli and even spoke more easily.

"You should go gather palm leaves. I've almost found all the wood."

Shan Yanli's mood immediately brightened up, and she put the unpleasantness behind her.

Jing Ye faced the mess on the ground and had no idea how to start.

Jiang Meng wanted to help, so he rolled up his sleeves and suggested, "I'll help you get the wood out first, and then we can build a shed to live in tonight."

Tong Wenping frowned unhappily. These elderly women were troublesome and meddlesome. They came out to help others with work after they had finished their own housework.

Of course, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not say such words directly.

At this moment, Bai Yinyin, who had always had little presence, suddenly spoke up and made a suggestion.

"Let's not set up the shed today. I have a tent anyway. Sister Mingfu, you can squeeze in with me tonight."

When Pei Haotian is not around, Bai Yinyin feels much more relaxed and speaks directly about whatever is on her mind.

In fact, she had this idea before Mingfu and Jingye arrived, and invited Mingfu to sleep in the tent with her.

She even had the unkind thought that there might be some benefits to the cabin collapsing, as she could then openly invite Ming Fu to sleep with her.

Jing Ye thought the suggestion was very good. The person he was most worried about now was Ming Fu. It didn't matter where he slept, as long as he had a board to sleep on. He was often so tired in the practice room that he slept directly on the floor. Anyway, he was thick-skinned and not picky about the place. But he couldn't bear to let his spoiled sister sleep in the wilderness like him.

"Afu, you're just with that..." Jing Ye's brain short-circuited, and he couldn't remember Bai Yinyin's name for a moment.

"My name is Bai Yinyin."

"Yes, you can go and sleep with Sister Yinyin."

Ming Fu nodded to Bai Yinyin first, thanked her and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't bother you today."

"Ah?" It can be seen that Bai Yinyin is a little disappointed.

Jing Ye was more anxious than anyone else when he heard this: "You are so stupid, why don't you live in a tent?"

Ming Fu: "Of course I have my own ideas."

She came here to keep an eye on Jing Ye. How could she let Jing Ye out of her sight? If she wasn't there, what would happen to her stupid brother? There was another reason. Naturally, it was because the male protagonist in this article was very jealous. No matter whether the object was a man or a woman, she didn't want to get involved in the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

Jing Ye immediately scolded her: "What kind of ideas do you have! You haven't grown up yet, your ideas are immature, you are not allowed to have any ideas."

Ming Fu: "You don't understand. I'm too lazy to explain it to you."

"I won't listen to your explanations, they're all just excuses." Jing Ye clicked his tongue impatiently and coaxed her patiently, "Be good, listen to your brother. I have the final say in this family."

Ming Fu ignored him and directly conveyed his wishes to Bai Yinyin: "Sister Baibai, thank you for taking me in and providing me with a place to stay, but I still want to be with my brother."

"You don't care about me anymore, do you? You don't listen to a word I say. Are you planning to piss me off to death so you can find yourself a new brother?" Jing Ye was so angry that he had nothing to say and held his forehead in pain.

After the picture was screenshotted by fans, they added the words: [My sister's rebelliousness broke my heart~]

It has become a famous emoticon.

Although Bai Yinyin was very disappointed, she was not the kind of person who would force others to do things.

Before leaving, she also said that if Mingfu changed his mind suddenly, he could come to see her anytime he wanted.

Tong Wenping took advantage of the situation and followed them to take Jiang Meng away.

Jiang Meng was a little unhappy: "If you want to go back, go back. Why did you ask me to come with you? I want to stay and see if I can help."

"Have you finished your housework? You picked up those seaweed and dead crabs, but you can't eat them. How are you going to sleep at night if you don't clean them up? If you have done your job well, then go ahead and help if you want to. I'm afraid you're just making things worse, and people won't want to see you." Tong Wenping said to her sarcastically.

Jiang Meng lowered his head and said nothing.

She did find some barnacles when she went out just now, but she had no tools and couldn't pick them off after picking them for a long time. She could only settle for the next best thing and pick up some seaweed that was everywhere and some dead crabs that didn't smell bad.

After picking them up, she remembered that they had no pot or fire, so the seaweed and dead crabs were completely inedible.

The inedible seafood instantly became garbage, and it was smelly garbage at that.

Tong Wenping has scolded her several times, saying that she is more trouble than good and only causes trouble for him.

What Tong Wenping said makes sense. It’s better not to make things worse for someone like her who does no good.

But I can't control the sadness in my heart.

After everyone else left, Jing Ye searched for supplies buried under the rubble while muttering to himself.

"Everyone in our Lao Ming family is smart. Comrade Lao Ming, for example, is so talented he can train doctors at the Nanhai Institute. Our mother was able to capture Comrade Lao Ming and make him bow down to her. She's quite capable, too. I've always been a smart kid, no one can take advantage of me. How could such a good family have such a fool like you? Could you explain this to your brother?"

Jing Ye picked up a piece of wood, raised his arm and threw it aside, then turned around to look at Ming Fu.

Unexpectedly, he saw his sister, who had never touched water before, following him obediently and picking up wood without saying a word.

This scene frightened Jing Ye, and he forgot to continue nagging Ming Fu. He was only concerned about his sister's delicate hands.

"Who told you to move? Put it down."

Jing Ye had just finished speaking when Ming Fu happened to pick up a window frame. Her eyes met Jing Ye's and she didn't move. She stood there holding the window frame.

"Tsk, I told you to put it down. What do you mean by doing this in front of me? Do you look down on your brother? You don't take your brother seriously at all," Jing Ye walked cautiously on the wooden board to Ming Fu, snatched the window frame from her hand, and threw it aside with force.

Ming Fu's hands were empty. He heard the window frame hit the ground with a bang. He lowered his arms, blinked, and said, "I can move it. It's not heavy at all."

"I have the final say on whether it's heavy or not. Your body can't handle it, so you're not allowed to move it anymore."

Jing Ye didn't give her any room for negotiation. Seeing Ming Fu still wanted to argue, he sternly reminded her, "We made three rules before we came here. You have to listen to me in everything. Now you just listen to me and go sit under the tree."

Ming Fu was driven by him to the coconut tree, and Jing Ye found a flat board for her to sit on.

Jing Ye didn't let Ming Fu work, but Ming Fu was not idle either. While Jing Ye was looking for supplies, she picked some old palm tree leaves. After a simple weaving, two flat and soft palm mats were ready.

When placed on a wooden board, the comfort level of sitting is instantly improved by several degrees.

Then she found a long, flat, round stone that was hard enough and slowly polished it.

[You're so skillful! How did Mingfu sister weave this palm mat? I really want to learn. It looks much more comfortable than the ones in our school dormitory.]

I kept my eyes open the whole time, but my weak eyes didn't learn the trick. Her hands were too fast.

[For the first time, I discovered that Jing Ye, this useless sister, is actually quite useful]

[What do you mean by somewhat useful? She was clearly the best at answering the questions.]

What are you doing now? Are you preparing to sharpen a knife? That will take forever.

[A little girl's way of killing time with this little toy. The palm mat is nice, because every girl knows how to weave a little thing. But sharpening a knife is not easy. Not all materials can be used to make a knife. The material she chose doesn't look good. It's hard and lumpy. Even after a year of sharpening, it won't become a knife.]

No matter how people outside questioned him, Ming Fu continued to sharpen the stone knife patiently, pouring some water on it from time to time.

Jing Ye gradually cleared out a space and could see the supplies buried underneath. He became excited and worked harder and harder.

Ming Fu stopped sharpening the knife and gently rubbed the blade of the stone knife with his thumb. He found that the blade was not sharp enough to rub his hand, but it was barely usable.

She picked a coconut, shook it to make sure it had enough moisture, and prepared to chop it.

[No way, she has already sharpened the knife? ]

[She can chop coconuts with this knife? Don’t be ridiculous, I can’t even open it with a kitchen knife.]

[My sister looks silly too. Please don’t cut off your own hands later.]

[Jingye, please look back quickly, your sister is trying to commit suicide]

When Ming Fu raised the knife, the audience didn't dare to look, for fear of seeing a bloody scene.

However, what they didn't expect was that Ming Fu cut the coconut skin easily and neatly with a knife. He casually knocked the hard coconut shell inside three times, put the blade into the narrow gap, and pried open the lid, revealing the clear coconut water inside.

What kind of speed is this? Even more skilled than the coconut seller.

[Holy crap! This knife actually works?!]

[It works! It's better than the knife I have at home that costs tens of thousands of dollars. I really want the same one!]

Before the audience could react, Ming Fu opened another coconut in no time.

At this time, Jing Ye finally dug out the supplies from the ruins. The moment he picked up the supplies and straightened up, Jing Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His son Afu won’t have to go hungry today.

Mingfu quickly handed the opened coconut to Jingye.

Jing Ye was a little surprised and smiled exhaustedly: "You drove it?"

Ming Fu put his hands behind his back and nodded obediently.

Although Jing Ye's throat had already started to smoke at this time, he did not rush to drink the coconut. Instead, he looked nervously at Ming Fu's hand first.

"Are you not hurt?"

Ming Fu showed him his hands. His thin and soft hands were slightly red after applying force, but there was no visible wound.

Jing Ye held a coconut in one hand and their tattered supplies in the other, and went to the coconut tree where Ming Fu was resting.

When he got closer, he saw the two templates that Mingfu had packed up, and the palm mat on top of them, which looked very comfortable at first glance. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Mingfu several times in surprise.

He didn't ask, and Ming Fu was not in a hurry to speak, but her raised chin and upturned lips had already revealed her mood. She was very proud now.

Jing Yekong stretched out a hand and touched Mingfu's head. He didn't ask any extra questions. Everything was self-explanatory.

He sat down on the soft palm mat, tilted his head back, and drank from the coconut mouth.

When the coconut water in his hand was almost gone, he finally felt alive again.

"Our Afu is becoming more and more capable." He never dared to imagine that he would have the chance to sit on a palm cushion that was as good as a sofa.

That's right, in his opinion, the palm cushion under his butt is more comfortable than the sofa.

Ming Fu was checking the supplies he had picked up. The fruits were all smashed and inedible. The bags of chicken legs and beef were broken, and the fat inside had overflowed along with the meat, mixed with some dirt. It looked really unappetizing.

Jing Ye stretched out two fingers, rummaged through his pocket, and saw what was inside. His expression was indescribable.

He took out a bottle of purified water that had survived the disaster from his supply bag and carefully rinsed off the dirt on it.

"Just wash it and eat it. Even though it doesn't look very appetizing, the taste is definitely the same. I'll try it first and show you. The taste is definitely fine."

"Wait!" Ming Fu stretched out his hand to stop Jing Ye's actions.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's just mud, it won't kill you."

"It's been buried under the house for a long time. It's covered in mud and sawdust, and a lot of unidentified creatures have crawled over it. The meat is also cold, and eating it will easily cause diarrhea."

Jing Ye felt disgusted at the thought of those disgusting little bugs, but he couldn't resist being hungry.

"Brother, if you are healthy, the outside is fine. If you are not healthy, eat the middle."

Ming Fu said righteously, "No, it's very dangerous to have diarrhea in the wild. Severe dehydration can easily lead to shock."

Jing Ye had no choice but to say bitterly, "Afu, brother, I'm going to have a starvation shock now."

"Let's light a fire first and roast the meat before we eat it."

"Fire? Where is the fire? I can't even find a match." He still wanted to eat something hot after it was roasted.

"We can start a fire by drilling wood." Ming Fu looked at Jing Ye seriously.

"What?" Jing Ye's expression was subtle. "You think too highly of me. Do you think I can master this skill?"

"I mean I will."

Not to mention Jing Ye, even the program crew and the audience didn't believe it.

Only strong people who can survive in the wild can start a fire by drilling wood together. It is not an easy task for ordinary people to start a fire by drilling wood together.

The much-questioned Ming Fu used a stone knife to carve a small groove on the wood piece, then grabbed some wood wool from the dry palm leaves, stuffed the wood wool into the small groove, and found a sharpened wooden stick to rotate and rub it in the groove.

Although Jing Ye was not sure whether Ming Fu's method of making fire by rubbing two sticks together was correct, he could not bear to see his sister's palms being rubbed raw. After seeing Ming Fu rubbing the wooden stick a few times, he took over her job.

At first he just wanted to rub her casually to please his sister.

But I didn't expect that the more I rubbed it, the more something went wrong. The wood wool in the small groove slowly began to smoke, and the more I rubbed it, the thicker the smoke became.

Jing Ye rubbed it more and more vigorously, and the speed of his hands became faster and faster.

"stop!"

Ming Fu stopped him and picked up the smoking wood wool carefully.

Jing Ye was afraid that the smoking wood wool would go out, so he raised his hand to protect it all the way.

Ming Fu blew gently at it, and Mu Rong, who was treated like a treasure by the brother and sister, turned red all over.

With a "boom", the wood wool burned into a small flame, illuminating the delighted eyes of the brother and sister.
